Private Business Before Departure

As night deepened, the Cloud Water Sect was utterly silent, as if it had fallen asleep.

Hua Qiang, dressed in black and with his face covered by a black veil, came out of his residence and vanished in a flash.

Wenren Yu's ears twitched, and he immediately opened his eyes and got out of bed.

She drank a bit too much today, and took a break from her daily meditation and work. Because of Hua Qiang's return, she felt incredibly safe and relaxed, so she decided to get a good night's sleep.

However, not long after I fell asleep, I vaguely heard noises coming from the next room.

When she arrived at Hua Qiang's room, she gently pushed the door open, and saw that the bed inside was empty.

Wenren Yu's expression changed, and then she seemed to have thought of something. She bit her lip lightly, her face filled with emotion.

Is this to avenge himself?

Falling Phoenix Slope a spacious and flat area with many houses built there, serving as the living quarters for the disciples.

There is a three-story building marked with the number "nine" and more than twenty people live inside.

Pei Jianbo tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. For some reason, his eyelids would twitch every now and then, and his heart was racing. He had a feeling that something was about to happen.

"Liu Zi, Liu Zi, are you asleep?"

"Senior Brother Pei, is something the matter?" Shang Yang opened his sleepy eyes and Wen Dao groggily.

He had been thoroughly trained by an elder during the day, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted, weak in the limbs, and without the strength to meditate. He went to bed early after dinner.

He had just fallen asleep when someone woke him up. Although he was very annoyed, he didn't dare to offend Pei Jianbo, his senior brother.

"Liu Zi, I keep feeling uneasy, like something bad is about to happen. Do you feel the same way?"

"No way, Senior Brother Pei, is it because you've been working too hard at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion these past few days and your body is a little weak, that's why you're having this illusion?"

"Pah! What are you saying, Liu Zi? With my physique, even if I had sex with several women every night for half a month, I wouldn't be weak!"

Seriously, I have a bad feeling about this!

"Senior brother, don't overthink it. Get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, go find your Cui Cui and have her serve you well. Let's see if you still have these wild thoughts then."

"Hehe, Liu Zi, it seems you know quite a bit too. Speaking of this, I've lost all sleepiness!"

"Come on, let's share our experiences. Did Little Red unlock this for you?"

Hehehe!

"Senior brother, not bad."

"Speaking of Little Red Hong, that girl looks gentle and weak, but once she's on the battlefield, she's as fierce as a tiger!"

If I hadn't gotten myself some tiger penis a while ago to boost my stamina, I really wouldn't have been able to withstand her firepower.

Cough cough!

Lying on another bed, Zhou Shuisheng could no longer hold back.

"Senior Brother Pei, Junior Brother Shang, how can you talk about such filthy things in front of me?"

Isn't this going to corrupt me?

No way! If you ever drag me into this again, I'm going to say goodbye to my position as a section chief! I want to experience it for myself too.

Clap clap clap!

A crisp slapping sound suddenly rang out in the room.

"Who? Who the hell is here? Are you trying to scare me to death by playing tricks?"

The three of them were startled by the sudden applause and jumped out of bed.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that you three senior brothers would have such refined tastes. Staying up so late at night to talk about romance, I really admire you!"

Zhou Changsheng lit the tinderbox and lit the oil lamp, instantly illuminating the pitch-black room as if it were daytime.

Then the three of them saw a person dressed in black with a black veil covering their face, looking at them with a mocking expression.

"Who the hell are you? Playing tricks, and covering your face like that, are you ashamed to be seen by others?"

Where are you from?

Which mountain is it from?

"Coming into our room in the middle of the night, are you trying to steal something?" Shang Yang cursed viciously.

"Not bad, not bad, a very clever mind and a smooth tongue. It's a pity you messed with the wrong person and made the wrong mistake!"

"Who the hell are you? Do we know each other? Who did we offend? What did we do wrong? Damn it, explain yourself clearly, or you won't be leaving this house today!" Pei Jianbo cursed angrily.

Those few rounds of applause really startled him. He even wondered if his brother might have been frightened and wouldn't be able to go to work normally.

"Hey, you're even more eloquent than I am!" Hua Qiang glanced at Pei Jianbo, his eyes full of disdain.

"Senior brother, this guy is obviously up to no good, and he sneaked into our residence in the middle of the night. He must be up to something bad."

Why should we waste our breath arguing with him?

"Brothers, let's all three of us gang up on him and give him a good beating first, then we can interrogate him slowly!"

"Yes!" Pei Jianbo and Zhou Changsheng exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

Then, the three men pounced on Hua Qiang.

The fist, as large as a sand bowl, swung up and smashed down with a sharp whistling sound.

Hua Qiang couldn't hide his smile. Was he going to spar with him?

It's really tough. He hasn't used his hands in a long time, and he feels like his body is about to rust.

Hua Qiang clenched his fist and punched forward three times in a row. Then, the three fists collided with the fists thrown by Pei Jianbo, Shang Yang, and Zhou Changsheng.

Bang bang bang!

Click! Click! Click!

With the three impacts, three sounds of bones breaking rang out, followed by a piercing pain that spread throughout the brain.

The three of them were thrown backward by the irreversible impact, crashing heavily against the wall.

Before the three could get up, Hua Qiang appeared in front of them like a ghost, then kicked them one by one, sending them huddled together, followed by a frenzied barrage of attacks.

He only stopped when his hands were sore and he almost twisted his ankle.

These three people were no longer human; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them three pigs.

"Who... who are you? I have no grudge against you, why are you causing me trouble?"

At this moment, Pei Jianbo finally realized why he had been feeling so anxious and his eyelids were twitching all day. It turned out that disaster was really about to befall him!

"You have no grudge against me? Ha! You dare to steal my monthly allowance and bully my people, and you actually say you have no grudge against me?"

"You... you are Hua Qiang?"

"Congratulations, you got it right! Too bad there's no reward!"

Hua Qiang pulled off the black veil from Meng's face. The reason for the disguise was to prevent Meng from revealing his whereabouts on the way. Now that Meng had found the person he was looking for, there was no need to hide anymore.

He believed that after he beat these guys up, they wouldn't dare to cause any more trouble.

Afterwards, Hua Qiang ransacked the three of them, taking all their valuables, and then headed towards the other buildings where the disciples who had bullied Wenren Yu had stayed.

That night, more than 20 people received his personal greetings, and naturally, adhering to the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed, he robbed them of everything.

As for Fan Xiaotong, congratulations to her, because she lived with her female disciple and luckily escaped a disaster.

On the first day, on the stone platform in the center of the sect square, the Sect Master, along with many elders from both the inner and outer sects, gathered on a stone platform.

The stone platform was surrounded by disciples who were watching the spectacle.

Everyone was looking at Zhao Zhiqing, Hua Qiang, Lan Zizhu, and Jia Bing.

The seven elders took out key-like objects from their hands and threw them into the air. These keys came together, causing space to distort continuously.

A portal appeared out of nowhere, with seven holes in it.

Seven keys flew into the hole one by one, click click click, and the door opened.

An aura of desolation emanated from within.

"The four of you may go in. The first battle in the struggle for the Saintess begins!"
